QWOP.
It’s really, really, funny.
See if you can get to 50m – there’s a hurdle.
At 100, there’s a long jump pit.
Good running!
Google Out of Ideas for iPhone App?
It seems that Google is out of ideas for their iPhone application, Google Mobile, when they are struggling to find things to put in the “What’s new in this version” and resort to putting “Enhanced version number”.

This is serious gold…
Take a look for yourself:
Or, if you really don’t believe me, hit up the Google Mobile App page on the App Store here.
In any case, I managed to LOL. It’s good to know that these guys have a sense of humour.
See? I told you Nerf products were awesome!
The wild ‘n zany hackers over at ManaPotions have taken the Vulcan EBF-25 to heights that no one at Nerf could have ever imagined by transforming a relatively harmless foam dart gun into a bona fide chaingun. Post-hack, the weapon could fire “about as fast as a 7.62mm M60 Machine gun,” which — for those rusty on their ammunition specifications — equates to 500 rounds-per-minute. The entire mod is laid out in dangerous detail down in the read link, though even the creators admit that you’ll likely fry the motor and melt at least a few critical components after a fair amount of use. Check the vid just past the break for a scene sure to make your jaw drop.

Apple Failed To Copyright Mac OS X?
Mac clone manufacturer Psystar said that Apple’s copyright suit against it should be dismissed because Apple has never filed for copyright protection for its Mac OS X operating system with the U.S. Copyright Office, according to court papers.

I really, really hope this isn’t true.
If it is, it’s probably the most epic fail in history; just imagine forgetting to copyright an OS! HAHAHA!
Now that’s worth firing someone over.
Australian ‘Net filter testing will include P2P traffic
That FAQ has revealed some other insights into the working logic behind the decision to roll out Internet filters. Although the previous tests and all public statements on the matter focused on web traffic, the actual live tests are expected to include the use of filters that target P2P applications like BitTorrent. The blacklist, comprised of somewhat over a thousand sites, will be provided by the Australian Communications and Media Authority. But, in a bit of a catch-22, nobody’s allowed to know what sites are on the blacklist—after all, publishing the list would let pervs know where to find the child porn.

Oh noes!
